Barb, Thank you ever so much, I really appreciate this information. This clears up several mistakes and misunderstandings others have had. Someone thought Bailey Carter died in Oct 3, 1803. But I have found him on the tax records until early 1811. So this helps tremendously. Thanks, Kathy Wells. At 04:35 PM 07/16/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Does anyone have access to the "Franklin Co, Va.
